SHLWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Ifinlfr Term, I9-IZ: In this school year, the Troop membership was as follows : SENIOR SECTION 0l1 I,A' ll 'OL 1 'ES P.I..

Aitken Jermain Franklin Klein Paterson Marler VValker Sharwood The Senior Section of the Troop devoted a number of its meetings to equipping the Scout Headquarters on Bishop Street with a view to possible air raid emergencies. The operation of a stirrup pump was practised, the numerous fire extinguishers were cleaned and refilled with fresh chemicals, buckets of sand and pails of water were placed in the proper places, and Scout Vass built an excellent ladder permanently fitted to allow access to the roof and the Hire escape. We visited the exhibition of Army and Air Force machines and armament at Fletcher's Field. In the Junior Section the new recruits were trained and most of them passed all the Tenderfoot tests during the term and were invested in the Troop. The Seniors undertook to collect magazines for the Armed Forces with the aid of the Red Cross. We have been distributing circulars to households on streets near the school, asking people to save their used magazines. Later we make the rounds with a Red Cross truck, collecting the magazines. In this way the Troop has been able to gather quite a large amount of current reading matter for the Forces. l1'2l

FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1942--1943 Earter Term, 19-U. The Senior Section visited the naval services exhibition at Eaton's. Patrol Leader Lehman attended the annual Patrol Leaders' Banquet at the YYindsor Hotel, with the Scoutmaster. Scout Molson entered a carefully-made aircraft carrier model in an exhibition of models at Scout Headquarters. We are continuing our magazine collection and are on the look-out for any ways in which we may be useful. S. G. THE LIBRARY HIS has been a record year for the Library. To date lhlarch 23rd,l 465 books have been issued and nearly 100 have been presented. For these we have to thank fl l Walter Cottingham, who, every morning for three weeks, arrived with one of Percy XVesterman's books. ll? Abner Kingman, who has presented practically all of G. H. Hen- ty's books. These are both historical and educational and are much in demand. C37 The following boys, who have given us one or more bookszf KI. Magor, G. Seely, A. Aitken, G. Taylor, Ian Campbell, Peter Bronfman, K. Black, K. Newcomb, M. Ballantyne, H. Klein, YY. Southain and E. LeMessurier. Among other books given by Kingman Black was a copy of a book called Algebra, by those well-known authors, Mr. Hall and Mr. Knight. He explained that while he really enjoyed mysteries, these were altogether beyond him, despite the solutions given to each at the end of the book. He could not understand why such a book should be written or published and he would be very glad to part with it' However, it was pointed out that there would probably be little or no demand for the book and he would be well advised to keep it , as time went on he would lind it of great interests in fact it might be unfortunate otherwisel The Brain-busters Quiz, recently instituted by the Ylth Form, has caused a wide demand for the excellent supply of books from the Reference Library.
